THE TIDES OF DISCIPLINE, by Ethel Anne Thompson, is a personal history of three traditional fishing communities: Chance Harbour, Dipper Harbour and Maces Bay, all situated on the South Shore of New Brunswick.

Our willow fishing poles and a can for the worms were waiting by the back door step. The alarm clock was set for 5:30 a.m. as Gord was taking us on a long-awaited fishing trip, way up the Wicker Brook. According to him, if we wanted to have a good catch, it was necessary to get fishing before the sun became bright. If we had been one of the Mawhinney, Cassidy, Thompson or Ellis children who lived in Maces Bay, Dipper Harbour or Chance Harbour our departure time for going fishing would have depended on the tide. In fact, you might say the tide ruled the working day and the lives of the folk who lived on the coastline. In 1978, Ethel Thompson titled her intimate and detailed history of these three traditional fishing communities, “The Tides of Discipline”.          -Reviewed by Ruby Cusack.
